Abstract
Gandhi, an iconic leader in India's independence movement, waged a historic battle against colonial powers, a struggle intricately portrayed in various art forms, including cartoons. This article delves into the lens of political cartoons to illuminate three pivotal aspects of Gandhi's anti-colonial fight. Firstly, it explores the visual representation of Gandhi's identity, encapsulating the essence of his character in these artistic renderings. Secondly, it scrutinizes his relentless struggle against the British colonial state, intricately depicted in the cartoons that became a powerful medium for resistance. Lastly, it unravels the portrayal of colonial oppression in India, shedding light on the profound impact of these cartoons in galvanizing the masses against the colonial regime. Through this exploration, the article unveils the multifaceted dimensions of Gandhi's battle against colonialism as envisioned by impassioned cartoonists supporting India's independence movement.
